DE WITT'S ACTING PLAYS. 



Please notice that nearly all the Comedies, Farces and Comediettas in the following 
hstofD'E, Witt's Acting- Plays" are very suitable for representation in small Amateur Thea- 
tres and on Parlor Stages, as they need but little extrinsic aid from complicated scenery or 
expensive costumes. They have attained their deserved popularity by their droll situations, 
excellent plots, great humor and brilliant dialogues, no less than by the fact that they are the 
most perfect in every respect of any edition of plays ever p>ublished either in the United States 
or Europe, whether as regards purity of the text, accuracy and fulness of stage directions and 
scenery, or elegance of typography and clearness of printing.

SYNOPSIS. 

Frank Trevor, has married Alice the only daughter of General Leslie, some seven 
years before the scene opens. Alter six months of happy wedded life, he is inveigled 
into a duel, by a false friend, who secretly loves nis wife, and who hoping to get rid 
of him, has been spreading false reports against her name. Believing that he has 
killed his man, he is advised by this same friend to leave his home. He does so, and 
under an assumed uame enters the army, where he achieves rank and fdrtuue in the 
service of his country. He returns home, but time and service have so changed him 
in appearance, that he is unrecognized even by his wife, whom he accidentally saves 
from the savage attack of a Tramp. He learns from her father that she has been 
ever true to him and that she regrets his cruel treatment as much as the old gentle- 
man condemns. Finding that she is likely to be persuaded into a marriage that is 
repugnant to her, he concludes to woo her again under his assumed name, and of 
course, succeeds. 

The story afford an interesting vehicle for the introduction of some of the finest 
music in Verdi's " II Trovatore,'' which has been judiciously selected and arranged 
by Mr. A. B. Sedgwick. 

NOTE.— The orchestral parts of the music of u The Twin Sisters, ' arranged 
by A. B. Sedgwick, for first and second violins, viola (ad lib.), basso, flute, 
clarionet, cornet, and trombone, can be obtained from Robert M. De Witt, 
Publisher, No. 33 Rose Street, New York. Price $9.00. 

*** The orchestration of this music is arranged so closely- as to be played effect 
tively with only five instruments.

Allegro Agitato. 




Music till Mrs. Trevob, is well on the stage and seated. 




Mrs. Trevor, runs in as if in terror, through door c. and sinks on a 

chair r. 

Mrs. T. — Oh, that dreadful pistol. The report still rings in my ears. 
The knell of one life -perhaps that of my preserver. To be even the 
innocent cause of harming* a fellow creature, is in itself a dreadful 
thought. And yet — how opportunely he came to my assistance. To 
think that I should be attacked by footpads — and so near home too. 
Had it not been for the sudden appearance and protection of that stranger 
I scarcely know what might have occurred ! However, I was able to save 
the little sum I was earning to my poor pensioners. Alas—it is these 
little acts of charity which alone assist me to linger through a life that 
otherwise would be insupportable. ( She rises.) Oh ! my beloved 
husband — cruelly as you have treated me— I never can forget thy memory. 
(Mrs. Trevor, sings.)

Mrs. T.— But who is tli is approaching? Ah ! my preserver! 

Enter Colonel Rashleigh, from the lawn, c. d. l. h. 

Thank Heaven, he is safe ! 

Col. R.— (l.) Pardon, madame, this unmannerly intrusion. I did not 
perceive you until so near the house that I feared my retiring- would create 
suspicion and surprise. I followed solely for your protection; say thai 
my object is accomplished, and I will at once withdraw. 

Mrs. T -(r.) Nay. sir, my heart is too full for adequate thanks. Pray 

stay, my father's coining— he would not be happy without pressing the 
hand of his child's preserver. {Going r. h.) 

Col. R. — Thanks are superfluous for an act that carries its own re- 
ward. But you wish it, and I obey. 

Mrs. T. — {Aside.) His voice seems like a memory of other days. — 
(Aloud.) Excuse me. sir, I -pray, sir. be seated. (Colonel Rashleigh 

advances, and appears to recognize Mrs. Trevor, who courtesies and 
exit. r. h. 1 e.) 

Col. R. Powers of mercy, it is she ! Yes— I cannot be mistaken. 
The same enchanting harmony of form and feature— the same intense 
brilliancy of eye — the same beauty of expression! It is she— it is my 
wife! (Becovei'ing his emotion.) Shall I stay to be her spoil ? Shall 
years of disgrace and mental suffering be burned away by a single glance 
of an inconstant woman ? No— we have met for the last time ! (He 
quits the room hastily, c. d. ; returns, and pauses on the threshold.) 
Yet, stay. (Advances slowly.) She appeared not to recognize me; she 
could not do so, and meet my injured gaze ! She is little changed ; but 
time and climate have done their work on me. I should like to know if 
she is happj', and to look once more upon features that have been to me, 
for so many years, as a beautiful and melancholy dream !

Gen. L. — (Without, r. h.) Leave the house unthanked ! Were there 
no other way of detaining him, I'd knock the geuerous rascal down ! 

Col. R. — Her father's voice ! He was no party to her guilt. He left 
England immediately after our marriage. 

Enter General Leslie, k. h. 1 e. 

Gen. L. — (Speaking as lie enters.) Where is this modest youth ? 
Heyday ! I thought to find a stripling, not a hero ! Are you the pre- 
server of my poor girl ? 

Col. R. — (Formally.) Opportunity, sir, has happily thrown me into 
so enviable a position. 

Gen. L.— A brother soldier, and fear to face a volley of gratitude from 
an old man and a lovely woman ! You have laid us under a debt beyond 
our means to pay — do not make us feel bankrupt by refusing the small 
instalment of our thanks. Your hand, young man. Accept the blurt" but 
deep acknowledgment of one who never littered a sentiment he did not 
feel. (Shakes Colonel Rasi-ileigh warmly by the hand.) If you knew 
my daughter— her gentleness — her tenderness— her charity— her piety — 
you would think her a being rather sent to teach than to suffer, and 
wonder how a stony-hearted, doating old father could have his child 
saved from death, and press the hand of her preserver without a tremor 
or a tear! I'm as hard-hearted as an old gun flint! (Wipes his eyes.) 

Col. R.— I once knew such a being — I once -(Turns aside to hide 

his emotion.) I cannot speak of her! His words bring back so strong 
a tide of memory that my very thoughts almost choke me. 



10 ESTKANGED. 

Gen. L. — You are moved— ill — nay, nay, no disguise, man. (Again 
putting his handkerchief to his eyes.) The strongest of us may have 
our hearts unstrung by the excitement of a moment. Your struggle, too— 
perhaps you are hurt? 

Col. R. - No— not hurt. I am, by nature, light of spirit, which a recent 
affair has clouded. I am now en route to a distant part of the country. 
Excuse my tarrying longer. I feel that the delay of a single hour may 
change the complexion of a life. 

Gen. L.— How? Not stay to witness the result of your morning's 
work ? The eye that you have brightened — the cheek that you have 
tinted — egad, the escape of my dear daughter, makes me talk to you as 
freely as ff you were my son.— (Aside.) I wish he were; for he's a line 
fellow, and that's the truth on't. 

Col. R. -{Aside.) Shall I at once declare myself ? 

Gen. L. — (Aside.) He seems in grief: perhaps for the loss of some 
relative. 

Col. R.— (Aside.) Should she be again married! O, that thought is 
insupportable!— (Aloud.) Sir, you may deem the question I am about 
to ask strange -impertinent— but I have a strong, and uncontrollable 
motive for asking it. Has your daughter (Pauses.) 

Gen. L.— Speak on, sir. I admire frankness. 

Col. R. — (After a struggle") Has your daughter — a husband? 

Gen. L. — (Seriously.) She has not, sir. 

Col. R.— Nor never had one? 

Gen. L. — (Warmly.) Never! 

Col. R. - Never? 

Gen. L. — What are the duties of a husband? To love and cherish the 
gentle object confided to him— to nurture and direct her opening mind, 
to watch over and protect her name and fame ; and, should calumny 
assail, to stifle its very breath ere it grew into the form of words ! No, 
no — she never had a husband. 

Col. R. — You speak with deep meaning, and raise an inexpressible 
interest. Dare I ask 

Gen. L. — I have nothing to disguise. There was one who professed 
to love her. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) Professed! 

Gen. L. — He seemed a line, noble, generous fellow, just such another 
as yourself. {Observing him minutely.) Your name, young man? 

Col. R. — Rashleigh — Colonel Rashleigh. 

Gen. L. — You have done well, sir, for your country in the West. I have 
heard your name associated with deeds of greatness. (With emotion.) 
You resemble Frank Trevor so much, that you might pass for his elder 
brother. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) He forgets the effect of seven years. 

Gen. L. — (Recovering himself .) Six months after their marriage, affairs 
of importance drew him to town, and then — suffice it— we never saw 
him more! 

Col. R.— Nor heard from him ? 

Gen. L.— (Struggling with his feelings.) Why should I conceal it? 
lie was a scoundrel ! 

Col. R — A scoundrel! 

Gen. L. — Ay. sir — a scoundrel ! 

Col. R.— (Aside.) Could I have been deceived? Alas! no. De Yere 
fell beneath my pistol, avowing his treachery ! 

Gen. L. — One letter reached us containing charges against his spotless 
wi-fe that he lacked courage to utter. 

Col. R. - (Hastily.) Was there no excuse— no palliative? Might he 
not be the dupe of a designing knave ? 



ESTRANGED. 11 

Gen. L.— He fled the test of scrutiny. 

Col. R. — {Eagerly, and much impassioned.) And the charge was 
false ? ( General Leslie makes a movement towards Colonel Rash- 
leigh, stops, and 'partly recovers himself .) 

Gen. L. — (With great determination.) Young man, did not an hour 
since make 1113' life a debt to you— for mine is wrapped in hers— another 
hour would, perhaps, end fatally to one or both of us ! 

Col. R. — Forgive my anxiety. Nothing was more distant from my 
thought than to make a charge a father should blush to hear. Your 
threat, general, was premature. 

Gen, L. — (Endeavoring to speak with composure. ) To doubt honor 
is to wound it. Shall I not avenge myself on the traducer of my child ? 
You are too young— too inexperienced to know the refined torture that a 
chance word' may inflict upon a parent's heart. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) I will not— cannot longer delay the avowal.— {To 
General Leslie.) I dared to breathe a thought in his defence, knowing 
that that man— that he himself is 

Gen. L.— Dead! 

Col. R.— Dead? 

Gen. L. -I knew what you were about to urge. {Reflects Jor a mo- 
ment.) He died— and not by my hand— that is my reproach ! 

Col. R. — And she- his wife — his widow I Did she, too, cherish a 
bitter feeling against him ? 

Gen. h.—(3luch moved.) We will not speak of her. Change of scene 
was resorted to— there was a blank in her life, and she has never uttered 
his name ! (Looking off l. 1st entrance.) But see ! my messenger has 
returned. I sent him to a neighboring magistrate with information of the 
attack in which you were a conspicuous actor. A few moments, and I 
will return. {Crosses, l. h.) Your hand once more. We shall not be 
worse friends for you having defended the dead and I the living ! 

[Exit, l. h. 1 E.] 

Col. R.— Well may they say that life is a melancholy jest. Here am I, 
a dead man and a confirmed scoundrel — compelled by circumstances to 
hear all sorts of charges, to endure all sorts of hard names, and to rind 
that my sole redeeming act is an unsuccessful effort at a postmortem de- 
fence. After all, I feel my heart most wonderfully lightened. The thought 
of my wife's truth comes like a rainbow to wrecked hope ! Still are there 
many clouds to dissipate. What course shall I take ? What if I begin 
afresh — once more turn lover, and try to win the heart I owned ! What 
if I be successful t Humph ! the result is mortifying: at best, I triumph 
over my former self — so, in either case, one of us must be cast into the 
shade ! Well, self-victory is the hardest to attain— so say the wise ones. 
Be it my lot to make the attempt. 

Be-enier General Leslie, l. h. 1 e. 

Gen. L.— I am once more at your service, and hope our momentary 
difference will not prevent a friendship commenced under circumstances 
so deeply interesting. 

Col. R.— My dear general, reflection has so increased my interest in 
your family, that I have resolved on a few days' stay in the village to give 
me an opportunity of proving my respect and esteem. 

Gen. L. — You are a man after my own heart— ever ready for action, 
yet never bearing malice. A flash— a burst — and then as cool as a gun 
barrel. 

Col. R. — I will just step to my hotel 

Gen. L.— You are in it. This house is your hotel, and I the ready 
host i Determined not to lose you, I took upon myself to send for your 
baggage. Come, sit down. —{They sit.) Being particularly anxious to 
introduce you to an agreeable acquaintance 



12 ESTRANGED. 

Col. R.— You mean your daughter, I presume ? 

Gen. L. — 0, no — a gentleman. 

Col. R.— Indeed!— {Aside.) I'm growing fidgety already. — (Aloud.) 
An acquaintance, may I ask, or friend ? 

Gen. L.— The latter: I may say a relative. 

Col. R. — {Aside.) That's an equivocal animal. — (Aloud.) Not a 
cousin, I hope ? 

Gen. L. — O, no — a son-in-law. 

Col. R. — A what? 

Gen. L. — A son-in-law. 

Col. R. — I beg pardon.— Have you another daughter? 

Gen. L. — You saved my only child. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) 0, I am on the rack ! — {Aloud.) I understood 
you she was a widow ? 

Gen. L. — Ay— was. 

Col. R.— And is she not? 

Gen. L. — And is for the present. I call him son-in-law. The bond of 
affection wants but a word to make it perfect. 

Col. R.— (Bitterly.) True — words are wax, and change their form at 
pleasure. Is it with your consent ? 

Gen. L. — Undoubtedly. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) She has not suffered as I have suffered, else could 
she never give her heart again. " Frailty, thy name is woman !" 

Gen. L. — He will have to thank you for the brightest earthly gift a 
man can receive— a good wife ! 

Col. R. — (Aside.) Curse his thanks ! 

Gen. L. — What a gratification must such a thought afford you. 

.Col. R.— Overwhelming [—(Aside.) Have I found a lost gem to see 
it worn by another ? I'll die first! 

Gen. L. — You are grave. Do you disapprove of second marriages ? 

Col. R. — If a woman can love twice, it is well. 

Gen. L. — She was but eighteen when she sacrificed herself— at five and 
twenty she may have learned wisdom. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) Perhaps this is a marriage of compulsion— there 
is yet hope. — (Aloud.) Is your daughter left to follow the stream of her 
affections ? 

Gen. L. — Heaven forbid that I should tamper with things so sacred ! I 
am growing old, and must anticipate that my child will soon be deprived 
of her only" earthly protector: enough that the dutiful girl entered into 
my views, and fixed this day for her decision. 

Col. R. — And that decision is 

Gen. L. — Wholly unknown to me. 

Col. R. — (Aside.) I breathe again ! My mind's made up. I'll enter 
the lists against him. — (Aloud.). When is the vital decision to be given? 

Gen. L. — (Looking at Ms watch.) In an hour from this time. 

Col. R.— One hour!— (Aside.) The fate of an empire has been decided 
in less time ! 

Gen. L. — My consent is given; and the bridegroom, that is to be, 
confidently awaits her compliance. 

Col. R. — (Rises. — Aside.) So, then, it seems I am to make lovo. to 
my own wife, with only an hour to do it in, and the odds against me ! — 
(Aloud.) General, what class of beings are we most apt to love ? 

Gen. L. — Those for whom we have suffered, or who have received our 
protection. 

Col. R. — You speak my own thoughts. 

Gen. L.— Well, and what follows? 

Col. R.— This simple answer. I have protected your daughter, there- 
fore 1 love her ! 




ESTRANGED. 13 

Gen. L. — The deuce you do ! 

Col. R. — Aye, sir— love her deeply, madly, devotedly: lovelier as if she 
were my wile I— -(Aside, ) That's an unfortunate simile ! 
Gen. L. — I'm thunderstruck! 

Col. R. — In plain terms, general, I at once declare myself your 
daughter's suitor, and shall devote the coming hour to the advancement 
of my suit. 

Gen. L.— You take me by surprise. What shall I say to her old lover? 

Col. R. — Leave that to me. I will settle with him in any case. 

Gen. L. — Consider my honor 

Col. R. — Shall I not consider my own? I have taken a prize. — Shall 
I yield her tamely? No, general; the arm that fought for her can and 
will do so again, if occasion need it. Grant my request, and, upon the 
honor of a soldier, the instant the dial hand points to the moment of 
decision, I will quit this roof forever, save at the desire of your own child. 

Gen. L. — Humph! I like your spirit — I like yourself. But Alice is not 
the girl to be lightly won. You shall have the opportunity you ask for. 
I will in no wise seek to influence my daughter, but simply bring her 
here.— (Grosses, r.) You are a courageous fellow. I have myself clone 
a daring act or two since I entered the service, and I suppose all brave 
spirits are of one family. (Chuckling.) Attempt to win a girl in an hour, 
from a suitor of seven years' standing ! A bold, conceited, impudent, 
noble-hearted coxcomb ! {Exit, r. h. 1 e. ] 

Col. R. — What if she loves this man ? Shall I step between to rob her 
of the happiness she sought in vain with me? Will it not be more kind, 
more generous, more honorable, to retreat? She believes me dead; and 
shall 1 not be amply repaid in seeing her smile upon one she loves ? No 
— curse me if I shall? I will employ the few remaining minutes in urging 
my, I fear, hopeless suit. 0, that I could dream for the next half hour ! 
I would give five years of my life to have it over ! 

[Exit Col. R. Door in flat c. ] 

Re-enter Mrs. Trevor, r. h. 1 e. 

Mrs. T. — Gone! and without seeing me? It is well. Why be surprised 
that he feels no interest in me? Why regret it, since I must not feel in- 
terest in him ? And yet he saved my life. ( Crosses and sits on sofa l. h.) 
What is the gilt worth ? (Bests her head upon her hand in reverie.) 
This day completes my five and twentieth year, and puis its seal upon the 
seventh of my loneliness ! This day, too, must I confirm or destroy the 
strongest hope of a dear and indulgent parent. (Pauses.) It is not for 
us to judge, although it is hard to bear a decree that checks the current 
of youthful feeling, and sobers a joyous girl into a bereaved matron ! 

Re-enter General Leslie, r. h. 1 e. 

Gen. L.— I have just sent for you, my dear Alice, and am glad to find 
you here. Our guest— Colonel Rashleigh, is desirous of an interview. 

Mrs. T. — With me? For what purpose ? I mean — when? 

Gen. L.— Immediately. 

Mrs. T.— Not before Captain Thornton's visit? 

Gen. L. — He is still in the house, and made that a point. 

Mrs. T. — How strange ! Have you explained to him my exact position V 

Gen. L. — Yes— without mentioning the captain's name. I am confident 
that Colonel Rashleigh is a man of honor: the rest I leave wholly to that 
excellent monitor— your own heart. (General Leslie, sings.)

[Exit, General Leslie. 1 e. r. h.] 



ESTRANGED, 17 

Mrs. T. — (Sits on r. h.) This is a trial I little anticipated, and less 
desired. It calls up too many recollections of scenes now past recurrence. 
(Leans her head upon her hand, absorbed in thought.) 

Re-enter Colonel Eashleigh, l. h. 1 e. 

Col. R. — (Looking at Mrs. Trevor, unobserved.) What a sweet 
picture ! I could fancy, for the moment, that years were annihilated, and 
I stood in doubt before her once again a lover. What have I to answer 
for? This is no time for self-reproach. I must strain every thought to 
the attainment of the one absorbing object. (Advances.) Madam! — 
{Aside.) I would give my commission to know the occupant of her 
thoughts! — {Aloud.) Madam ! 

Mrs. T. — Sir ! (Rises.) Pardon me — I did not observe your presence. 

Col. R. — It is I who should apologize for an unannounced intrusion. 
I wished, madam, to see you — alone; and having a few words to say, and 
but few moments to shape them in, I thought our introduction of the 
morning, however informal, would plead an excuse. 

' Mrs. T. — That circumstance alone induced my consent to an interview 
at the present moment. 

Col. R. — And— as moments— as — as moments are precious Pray, 

madam, be seated. (Harids Mrs. Trevor a chair; she motions for 
him to be seated also.) As I said, madam, moments being precious— I 

(Aside. ) She is a lovely creature. — (Aloud. ) I— I— (half aside, ) 

haven't a word to say for myself 1 

Mrs. T. — I am all attention. 

Col. R. —At the moment of my life when I would give gems for words 
— — The fact is, madam, try me upon any other subject, and I can dis- 
course most eloquently ; but now— the truth is, that with those two 
lustrous eyes looking into my very soul, I can only, without the aid of 
ornament, in the plainest terms, repeat the avowal. 

Mrs. T. — (Smiling.) You have made none yet. 

Col. R.— Then, madam, take the will for the deed; for if ever a man 
admired, loved, honored, reverenced, idolized a woman, he had but a 
faint notion of the overwhelming thrall which a single glance has wound 
around one who has not words to express a twentieth part the extent of 
his bondage ! 

Mrs. T. — Your dumb eloquence has speedily found a tongue. The 
nature of our introduction alike excuses your hasty protestation, and my 
not unwilling attention to an avowal which would otherwise be as ill 
judged as immature. You may think I speak too calmly upon a subject 
so vital to the interests of those who discuss it; but, unhappily, I have 

already once Enough, sir, that— that — [Aside)— keep from my heart! 

—(aloud) — that duty has defined a course which inclination dares not 
swerve from ! 

Col. R.--I feel that I have deserved this by speaking hastily — perhaps 
with levity; but if the offer of a life's devotion 

Mrs. T. — Proceed no farther: pray do not — you embarrass me. 

Col. R. — Promise me but one thing — that you will not give my rival a 
decisive answer. Promise this, and 

Mrs. T. — 1 cannot— I must not ! 

Col. R. — Say but that I may revert to the subject 

Mrs. T. -Colonel Rashleigh— to you I owe the life that I would rather 
part from than tamper with the love you have generously proffered. 

Col. R. — (Mournfully.) You reject me, then? 

Mrs. T.— (After a moments hesitation, with deep determination. ) I 
do! 



18 ESTKANGED. 

Col. R.— (Rising.) Then there remains but little peace for me on 
earth ! I have suffered years of misery only to be succeeded by others of 
still deeper agony ! But know, madam, that he whom you have 
sacrificed to a rival 

Mrs. T. — (Rising.) A rival? (With pride.) You have none! 

Col. R.— How ! 

Mrs. T.— I said my duty forbade it. I have been a wife ! 

Col. R.— (Impressively.) The grave absolves all ties. 

Mrs. T. — Do we owe no duty to the dead 't None to their memory? 

Col. J&.— (Delightedly.) You abjure, then, all ties ? 

Mrs. T.— Give me a moment to collect myself, and you shall see my 
heart. (Sits and weeps. ) 

Col. R. — {Resuming his seat.) 0, madam, I have been premature — 
rash— a fool : forgive me — forgive me ! 

Mrs. T.— (Collecting herself.) You have earned a right to my con- 
fidence, and shall share it. You see before you one who yet young hi 
years is old in grief. Before my eighteenth year I became a wife ; and 
although my fate was linked to one scarcely three years my senior, I 
looked up to him as a being alone of his kind — the one star before which 
all others faded; and, in the fulness of my joy, I felt that for me, at least, 
earth had its Eden ! 

Col. R.— (Aside.) How the very depth of her love chides me ! 

Mrs. T.— Six months passed thus: hours to those that followed ! I 
cannot speak in detail. We parted ! The moment for his return arrived, 
and brought with it,— not himself — not a missive of affection to tell of his 
delay, — but a cruel and cold-hearted letter, which spoke of things that 
thought itself should blush to meditate. I perused it once— the shock 
struck home; and then— for many, many weeks— I was the only one who 
felt not that the sun of my happiness had set forever ! 

Col. R. —Your feelings were overwrought, You do not — do not mean 
that 1 cannot bear even the asking ! 

Mrs. T. --(Rising.) Yes- I was mad! (Colonel Rashleigh starts 
tip ; Mrs. Trevor pauses, seemingly unconscious of his p>resence ; 
abstractedly.) Look yonder, where a little mound of earth shows fresh 
with flowers. They may tell me it is his grave— but no— I never wept 
over — never saw the turf that keeps him from me. My hand never 
planted those sweet remembrances of young affection — and who else is 
there in the world that loves him well enough? His grave? No; it is the 
spot where first his words taught me how bright a thing is the twining 
of two souls ! And then the ivy clings about the tall tree in memory of 
it ! Methinks I hear the organ's pealing note— his voice, too ! And then 
the holy man who pronounced the vows that affection leaps to echo! He 
joined us in the name of Him who knows our inmost thoughts! (Pauses.) 
The tie is indissoluble, and yet they would tear me from his very memory ! 
But they shall not— they shall not ! 

Col. R. — (Much moved.) Calm yourself, madam: there are none to 
harm you here. 

Mrs. T — (Partially recovering.) That voice speaks like old memories ; 
and, hearing it, I could weep till my heart burst ! (Crosses to l., presses 
her eyes, looks up, and endeavors to rouse herself.) I have been weep- 
ing! A veil is before my eyes, and thought is benumbed! (Turns to 
Colonel Rashleigh.) Ah! I remember — I was speaking 

Col. R. — When you are more composed. 

Mrs. T.— No - hear me on. {Sits, l.) I feel that I can bear it, and 
something whispers that you should know all. (Pauses.) Four years 
elapsed, during which time I clung to a hope never to be realized. He 
came not! Then was the fatal blow struck— he died, and I became a 



ESTRANGED. 19 

widow. 0, the desolation of that word ! The utter loneliness of a heart 
without a kindred stem to cling to! 

Col. R. - {Aside.) And this is the being I have suspected! (Anxiously.) 
Had he still lived— still loved 

Mrs. T.— He love? Can the ruthless rending of the holiest tie be 
called by such a word ? He never loved ! 

Col. R. — Madam, it is hard to judge the absent — difficult to guess 
emotions we do not witness; but, if ever wife was beloved, you were by 
my Mend, Frank Trevor. 

Mrs. T. — (Bises, hurriedly.) "Who utters that name? 

Col. R. — (Risiiig.) Colonel Rashleigh — his fellow soldier ! 

Mrs. T. — (With emotion.) His fellow soldier ! You can, then, speak 
of him ? 

Col. R. — I can. Of his truth — his sufferings; but your excited feel- 
ings . 

Mrs. T.— O, no. I am calm now; and, although he is dead, you are 
the first who has spoken of him in tones of gentleness. 

Col. R.— You were in his memory in the time of peril— in the hour of 
sickness. Even when writhing under the anguish of a desperate wound, 
he clasped, blood-dyed as it was, the miniature you placed within his 
bosom, and prayed' but for sight to gaze upon it to the last ! 

Mrs. T. — You saw this— and avouch it? (Anxiously.) He spoke of 
me — his wife ? 

Col. R.— O, madam, he loved 

Mrs. T. — (Mournfully.) And left me? 

Col. R.— Listen. Shortly after Frank Trevor arrived in London, a 
dear friend— who must himself have been deceived— reported the fatal 
untruth that made the too credulous husband resolve to confront the wife 
he supposed had betrayed him; but, as he stepped into the carriage, the 
very man report associated with your name crossed him. An instant 
challenge was given, and his opponent fell ! Your husband, feeling that 
his hearth was desecrated, travelled to the East, under an assumed name, 
and sought to obtain in the grave the peace his home denied him ! 

Mrs. T.— All this was kept from me— or never known. Who could 
dare to circulate a calumny so bitter ? 

Col. R. — Your husband sought not to learn, for he suspected no one. 
That his motives might not be misconstrued, he left his fortune, with a 
slight reservation, in your fathers hands. Knowing the fancied sting 
that urged him to the fatal course, do you still reproach him ? 

Mrs.^T. — I never reproached him— I felt his act too deeply! What! 
Deem impure the soul to which his had clung, under the high sanction 
of Heaven itself, upon the poor word of a vain boaster ? and without one 
question? Had the whole world rung with his errors, I would have 
sacrificed my life rather than condemn him unheard ! 

Col. R.— (Bitterly.) And he could wrong a nature like this ? O, fool 
—0 villain! 

Mrs. T. —Peace ! You forget to whom — of whom you speak ! ( With 
deep emotion.) He was my husband: he is dead! (Crosses, r.) 

Col. R. — (After a pause, sinks upon his knees.) Alice! 

Mrs. T. — AVhose voice is that? Hush! Answer me not— the air is 
dense and hot ; and a word may press too heavily on reason ! I feel 
more than hope dares confess— more than thought can compass and 
retain faculty. One question, and all is over ! (Slowly draws a minia- 
ture from her bosom, and tremulously shows it to Colonel Rashleigh.) 
Is that your "ift? 

Col. R.— It is! 

Mrs. T.— ( Uttering a half-suppressed cry.) My husband! {Falls 
upon his neck. )

Enter General Leslie, r. h. 1 e. 

Gen. L. — Fire and thunder ! Do you do every thing by steam ? 

Col. R. — Give me joy, general! I no longer dread a rival ! 

Gen. L. — (To Mrs. Trevor.) And you have decided in favor of- 

Mrs. T. — My husband — Frank Trevor. 

Gen. L. — Your husband ! I knew that he was some mysterious, 
generous, good-for-nothing sort of a nondescript! But how have 1 to 
receive him ? I can't shoot the rascal who has saved your life — and then 
what am I to do with Captain Thornton ? Here is a letter I have just re- 
ceived from him, but which I would not open until I had heard the result 
of this interview. 

Col. R. — Captain Thornton ? 

Gen. L. — My daughter's suitor. 

Col. R.— (r.) He was my friend— my second — the adviser of my 
flight! 






ESTRANGED.

Gen. L.— (l.) The news-bearer of your death ! Let us see what the 
rascal says for himself. (Reads.) "My having learned the return of 
Frank Trevor, will at once account for my not presenting myself. I loved 
your daughter unsuccessful}' : in revenge I circulated a base falsehood. 
I persuaded De Vere to meet Frank Trevor— the pistols were not loaded 
with ball, and the true result was concealed. The only atonement I can 
now make is a frank, though tardy confession." 

Col. R.— Wife ! 

Mrs. T. — Husband! 

Col. R. — What can amend to thee the misery of the past? 

Mrs. T. — The happiness of the future ! 

Col. R. — Have all these long years been endured in vain ? 

Mrs. T. —Not wholly— they are a lesson to young hearts. 

Col. R. — Teaching husbands the folly— the injustice — of judging, un- 
heard, the nature that is in purity, so far beyond their own. 

Mrs. T. — And wives, that when others condemn, if they abide by their 
sacred vow, and reproach not the errors of those to whom Heaven has 
linked them, the same Power will sustain them under their trials, and 
lead back the truant that otherwise had been lost forever !

DE WITT'S ETHIOPIAN & C01L»J5ii9L» 



Nothing so thorough and complete in the way of Ethiopian and Comic Dramas has ever 
been printed as those that appear in the following list. Not only are the plots excellent, the 
characters droll, the incidents funny, the language humorous, but all the situations, by-play, 
positions, pantomimic business, scenery and tricks are so plainly set down, and clearly ex- 
plained, that the merest novice could put any of them on the stage. Included in this catalogue 
are all the most laughable and effective pieces of their class ever produced. 

*** In ordering, please copy the figures at the commencement of each play, which indicate 
the number of the piece in " De Witt's Ethiopian and Comic Drama." 

&T Any of the following Plays sent, postage free, on receipt of price— IB Cents Each. 

Address, ROBERT M. DE WITT, 

JVo. 33 Itose Street, JVew York, 

j^~ The figure following the name of the Play denotes the number of Scenes, 
figures in the columns indicate the number of characters.— M. male; F. female. 
*** Female characters are generally assumed by males in these plays.
